#1026935 Jaybo (User) Here, hold my beer... Gold Boarder Posts: 980 Brake rotors 1 Month, 4 Weeks ago   Is there any actual difference in the rotor discs through the years? I am seeing lots of 02+ brake rotors but not much of anything for earlier. My rear rotor is pretty bad .. Going to rebuild the calipers too. Anyone got brand/part #'s of kits that have worked for you?   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #1026936 smokescreens (User) lifes better riding twins Platinum Boarder Posts: 17430 Re:Brake rotors 1 Month, 4 Weeks ago   1700 rotors (front) are floating. Other than that no difference.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #1026937 Questcap (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 7727 Re:Brake rotors 1 Month, 4 Weeks ago   Was able to snag an NOS rear rotor off eBay not one month ago for $138 and change. My rear rotor, after 17 years, was looking rather poorly, too.   Logged     Sig Pic deleted - larger than 450 pixels and 50 kb   The administrator has disabled public write access. #1026938 Questcap (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 7727 Re:Brake rotors 1 Month, 4 Weeks ago   And, whereas, later front rotors are of a floating type, I believe that you can use any year rotor with any year caliper, without any difficulties. I know I'm running '09 cast wheels, with the floating rotors on them, on one of my '01s, with the '01 calipers, and they work just fine.   Logged     Sig Pic deleted - larger than 450 pixels and 50 kb   The administrator has disabled public write access. #1026943 Jaybo (User) Here, hold my beer...

This is exactly why I was asking, does it make any difference if I use floating rotors with my floating calipers on my '00 1600? There is a much larger selection out there of the floating rotors.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #1026945 HotRodStar (User) Midnight Rider RRRRRRRR Platinum Boarder Posts: 2669 Re:Brake rotors 1 Month, 3 Weeks ago   You can use floating rotors and floating calipers together, however I would not recommend using fixed rotors and fixed calipers Something needs to have a little give in there Rod   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #1026951 jd750ace (User) Front toward enemy Platinum Boarder Posts: 18763 Re:Brake rotors 1 Month, 3 Weeks ago   The rear is fixed caliper and rotor, but a swing arm and a fork behave very differently under load.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #1027069 hardone2get (User) Who care's what you ride!
